Evidence of Animal Minds
An Interdisciplinary Symposium
As contribution to Durham IAS's 2015-16 exploration of the theme of Evidence, this
three-day workshop will examine the problem of evidence in accounting for the phenomenon
of 'animal minds' - the existence and character of (broadly conceived) mental
phenomena in non-human animals. This controversial question offers a rich case for
exploring the meanings of 'evidence' from a range of disciplinary perspectives.
The meeting will assemble philosophers of mind and of knowledge, neuroscientists,
experimental psychologists and ethologists, evolutionary biologists and biological
anthropologists, social anthropologists and historians of science, as well as humanities
scholars with expertise in visual culture.
